    Adding timer issue

    theejbpope

      Hi,

      As a number of posters of this forum I'm trying to create a timer in my node action handler. When the timer expires, it should push the process along the "time-out" transition. And that's it. But I can't make it work. Even after an extensive look to the documentation and forums...

      Having seen a number of code examples in this forum, I imitated it:

       Duration duration = new Duration(timeout/1000 + " seconds");
       BusinessCalendar businessCalendar = new BusinessCalendar();
       Date dueDate = businessCalendar.add(new Date(), duration);
       Timer timer = new Timer( executionContext.getToken() );
       timer.setName( name );
       timer.setDueDate( dueDate );
       timer.setTransitionName( transitionName );
       timer.setGraphElement( executionContext.getEventSource() );
       timer.setTaskInstance( executionContext.getTaskInstance() );
       timer.setAction();
       SchedulerService schedulerService = (SchedulerService) Services.getCurrentService( Services.SERVICENAME_SCHEDULER );
       schedulerService.createTimer( timer );
      


      The process is kicked-off without any problem, but when the timer expires I'm getting the exception described underneath:

      I've had a look into the JBPM_TIMER table; compared to a timer created from the process definition. With strikes me is that the columns for the action, graph element type and graph element are null. While the row for the timer created with the process definition has values for it.

      Modifying the code sample as follows does fill in the graph element columns:

       timer.setGraphElement( executionContext.getEventSource() );
      replaced by
       timer.setGraphElement( executionContext.getNode() );
      


      (getEventSource() is always null for me by the way...)

      The action column remains empty though. And setting an action to the timer with the Timer.setAction( Action ) method results in the next exception:

      I'm probably making this way too complex. For just creating a timer with an empty action... I've had an extensive look to the documentation and forum, but I obviously missed the catch. Can anybody help me further with this please ?

      The only thing I'm wanting to achieve is setting a timer with a dynamic duedate. If sombody knows how I can modify the duedate of a timer mentioned in the process definition, that would be just fine too...

      I'm using JBPM 3.1.2, with the web app of the starter's kit, deployed on a JBoss 4.0.5GA application server. J2SE 1.5.

      Many thanks for any clue !
